Is there a category in "sports" on the BT training log for that? Depending on the person and type of shopping, I found the following categories could fit quite nicely: adventure racing agility boot camp conditioning cheerleading divine breathing orienteering power walking skipping wrestling
Do you do agility with your dog(s)? I've always thought about it, and when our oldest dog was a youngster I "trained" him on the play equipment at a park near our house, but I've never done it for real. Would love to someday. Two of our dogs would totally enjoy it! You should try Nosework instead. It's essentially civilian sniffer dogs, based on the training they do for military and police dogs. We do it with one of our border collies--it totally wears her out (success!!)--and we're going to start with the other one soon. It's way cheaper and there's a lot less wear and tear on you and your dogs but there's still competition and camaraderie. All you need are some boxes, some essential oils (birch, clove and anise), some Q-Tips, and a little metal container thingy that you get from the trainer. Check out K9nosework.com if you're interested. You could even have your kids help you hide the stuff for the dogs to find. After your post I looked in to this. There is a trainer near home. She doesn't have a web site but I plan to email her. Hey, one of the Manatees really does do competition agility. Who is it? Did she disappear? Maybe my head got whacked a bit harder than I thought ... Anyway, I used to teach agility (and obedience, and introductory scenting). SO. MUCH. FUN. Doooo eeeeeeet In the meanwhile, all of own 'children' have been wild ragamuffins. Preacher's kids, and all that. |

Anyone had OWS in water like this? There was a swim clinic yesterday, and people were posting about how bad the water is. Plus another storm coming up from Mexico in the next couple of days which means more crap into the lake.| 2014-09-15 12:28 PM in reply to: IndoIronYanti |
Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Kirsten's SO is into agility (and Kirsten too). Hannah and I did agility. Emma feels that the obstacles just interfere with her getting to her public. |

I'm telling you, it's awesome! |

Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl I don't know, 2 bike crashes and 1 swim crash (really Yanti, did you have to go an one-up the bike crashers??) I'm in pretty tough competition, but I still think I get to claim the stupidest injury award with locking up my neck muscles while DRYING MY HAIR. Monica, you take the cake--and totally crack me up!! Hope those neck muscles loosen up soon. |

Thought about it up until last night, but check out this article. ICK!! Good plan. The race TJ and I are doing this weekend had a really small turnout last year. It was just after all the flooding and I'm sure people didn't want to put themselves in that awful soup. |

Hannah and I did agility. Emma feels that the obstacles just interfere with her getting to her public. I saw a Chow competing once. She stopped at one of the obstacles and was like, "What?? That's stupid. I'm not doing that." Her poor handler got really flustered but it really was quite funny. She finally threw her hands up in the air and walked off the course. |

All of a sudden I don't feel so "special" anymore They really should be tears of laughter... rip-snort-snerking tears of laughter!! |
not sure whether those are tears of laughter or sorrow, though ...

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Ahhh-ha! I knew using a hair dryer was dangerous! First "must" for any stylist..."My hair must be wash n go." I'll just chock it up to thinking ahead about possible neck/shoulder injury. |

Although, the water may be rather *extra* buoyant on its own by the looks of it. Edited by 4agoodlife 2014-09-15 2:30 PM |

He may have been born the wrong species. |

I always look forward to seeing how many races you're doing each weekend Our ride on Saturday was rough. Supposed to be an "easy-ish" 34mi loop that would take about two hours. I planned to do two loops and J was going to do three. It sounded great until we got to riding... 20-25mph steady wind with 30+ gusts! We had to pedal on the downhills to get 12mph where we can coast 25+ normally. And I've never had that pit in my stomach that one little mistake on balance would put me into the ground with the crosswinds. A friend went out with us for his first long ride and first time with clipless. Lots of pausing and turning around to check on him, plus the wind, made it a three hour loop. He was toast, I called it quits, and J went out for one more since he's working out nutrition issues. |

And two of them are this weekend I went back a buncha buncha Manatee threads to see what the clothing recommendations were for the Dirty Girl last year (the one that got rained out). Thanks again Judi and Hands for the suggestions. I'll have to see what I have left for tri-shorts/suits that I don't wear for racing tris. |

Or is it supposed to warm up? Wasn't there snow down into CO last weekend? lol |
